Best time to Visit

Days

Day 1 Arrive Kathmandu

Upon arrival at Kathmandu in the afternoon, you are received by a Vasco representative and escorted to the hotel for check-in. You can rest for a while and then go for city sightseeing in the afternoon.

First we visit Durbar Square (listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO) one of the popular places liked by many visitors due to its exquisite architecture and artistic embellishment. The complex of palaces, courtyards and temples, built in 1200 to 1768 A.D. with hundreds of erotic carvings used to be the seat of the ancient Malla kings of Kathmandu which epitomizes the religions and cultural life of the people.

Then we visit Swayambhunath (listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO) located atop a green hillock west of Kathmandu. This is a site that is over 2500 years old marking the point where the legendary patriarch Manjushri discovered the lotus of the ancient valley lake. Constructed to specific rules each with a symbolic meaning, the stupa of Swayambhunath is a model of its kind. Afterwards return to the hotel for overnight stay.

Day 2 Kathmandu

After breakfast at the hotel, we leave for excursion of Patan Durbar Square & Bhaktapur.

Patan Durbar Square has been acclaimed as one of the finest urban streetscapes in the world. Most of the monuments seen today were built between the 16th – 18th centuries. It is known as the centre of fine arts and for the superb craftsmanship of its artisans. Essentially a Buddhist city, historic inscriptions establish Patan as an important town as it is said to have been founded by Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century B.C., although no historical proof exists.

Afterwards we visit Bhaktapur which is a former capital of the valley. It was once a flourishing city on the trade route to Tibet. It has preserved its traditional character better than the other two cities, due to its more isolated location. It is regarded today as a classic showcase of medieval Nepalese town life. It is situated in the east of Kathmandu valley about 14 kms away. It retains much of its beauty in ornate wood carvings and in the famed Golden Gate. Overnight stay is at the hotel.

The serenity of Phewa Lake and the magnificence of the fishtailed summit of Machhapuchhre (6,977m) rising behind it create an ambience of peace and magic.

Day 4 Pokhara

Early morning, we leave for excursion to Sarangkot (to have a close up of the Himalayas).The most stunning of Pokhara’s sights is the world famous views of the Himalayas, especially with the spectacular panorama of the Annapurna range which forms its backdrop. Stretching from east to west, the Annapurna massif includes Annapurna I to IV and Annapurna South. Although the highest among them is Annapurna I (8,091m), it is Machhapuchhre which dominates all others in this neighbourhood.
